Overwatch 2's servers rendered the game completely unplayable on day 1 because of a DDoS attack. This is genuinely the funniest thing that could've happened

Well, I have to say that this day was very unproductive. Was never able to get in Overwatch 2 to see anything, even up to now. Absolutely disappointed. To those who DDoS'd the servers, may your bacon be forever burnt to leather and you sit on a pinecone every day.

Hello, I was lucky enough to get into the Overwatch 2 servers and boy was it good. I know people are frustrated and I was too, but it seems that it is actually a DDox attack. I had no lag times and it took nearly 10 seconds to get into a match. It feels like Overwatch but better.

@mccleskey_matt Overwatch 2 is absolute trash my guy. I had high hopes too but they carried over all the same glaring queue issues from the first game. Lame lame lame.

@aazoz55555 So many people are having this issue so maybe it’s a bug that needs to be fixed. The game made me start as if I was a brand new player and nothing transferred form overwatch 1

@PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS So, is it a known issue for people who have played Overwatch 1 and merged their accounts to have their characters locked when they shouldn't be?

Overwatch 2's servers getting DDOS'd on launch day literally proves we did not need another game.

@uhyeahitsslyy @BlizzardCS You aren't being helpful you idiot. The game doesn't allow me to download OW2 because it thinks that I own it already. When I open up the game which shows the OW2 menu screen it gives me an error saying "Sorry there is no available free trial for Overwatch". It's a bug.

@PlayOverwatch I’ve been trying to play Overwatch 2 all day since 12pm PST. I bought the Watchpoint pack for $39.99 just yesterday on the Nintendo eShop… I should be playing this no issues on Day 1, what are you going to provide people who’ve PAID for this inconvenience?

So Overwatch 2 on PlayStation isn't recognizing I purchased the Watchpoint pack and when I boot up the PS5 version, the characters are locked despite being a previous OW1 player. Not sure how to fix this other than wait. @PlayOverwatch #Blizzard #Overwatch

Overwatch 2 has waaaaayyy too many starter restrictions. 50 games to play comp? 100 games to unlock all my characters they said I'd start with? All my items/skins/etc gone cause of a server issue? All these damn menus talking about challenges, battle passes, etc?
